The car is painted white and there is black smoke all over the back of my kit where my exhaust leads out. I pulled the spark plugs and they are fine no oil, no leaks from my head gasket or valve cover so thats why I believe its gas. I don't know if my air to fuel ratio is off, or if I have a bad sensor. Any ideas? What should I check? There is NO check engine light on either.

I checked the plugs they are fine there is no oil on them, and they are burning fine. It is a dark black smoke you don't see it in the air it just sticks to my bumper. If I start or accelerate I NEVER see any smoke come out. I wonder if my air to fuel ratio is off or if its a bad sensor?
Another thing I cant grab second gear if I try to chirp it, but my clutch feels fine could it be my clutch master cylinder?
